Well done DiscoChocolate. Especially as the weather around Wolverhampton was not at all nice, at least when I was there. I set off from Sleap to go to Wellesbourne. At Bridgnorth I was confronted by a wall of cloud lower than I was...and I was down to 1300 ft. I told Wolverhampton I was orbiting to decide what to do, and looked for a break, but couldn't find one. Then I looked behind me and the cloud was getting lower there too! I decided to go home before I scared myself. Of course it cleared up beautifully later, sod's law.

So, if you heard a female voice trying to understand Shawbury with a rather iffy radio, and then undecided about what to do around Wolverhampton, that was me.
